 What
is POP? It is the informal and popular form
of art that usually reflects art more
appreciated by the younger generation and the
more
avant garde
not-too-young generation. The term POP is used
in visual and performing art, fashion, society
and culture. You have heard of pop art, pop
music, pop fashion, pop society, pop culture,
etc. POP is modern, progressive, fun and
exciting. This type of art uses and creates new
ideas, methods, designs or styles.
Since the Filipino American
community exudes in eclectic talents, especially
among the young, PCFI will launch the POP
Concert Series that will showcase a number of
groups or individuals’ artistic performing
skills in a series of concerts at the Bayanihan
Arts and Events CenterCenter. For PCFI purposes, the Series will
include all forms of acceptable performing art,
as long as they do not fall under the
conventional term “classical”.

Aki
and I Concert
January, 2006 |
One of the objectives of the
Foundation is to promote the multitude of
talents in the community. Without a budget, the
Committee will depend on the attendance and
generosities of the community to support the
concerts. There will be three types of season
passes (December 2005 to November 2006). One is
the “Sponsor of the Arts” Season Pass for all
POP concerts at $100.00 donation (preferred
seating); the other is the Friend of the Arts
Season Pass for all POP concerts at $50.00
donation (general seating). Patron of the Arts (V.I.P.
passes) will also be available to those who will
donate $500 per couple or $250 per individual to
support this program. Tickets may also be
purchased at the door for each concert at $10
per adult; $3.00 for 11-18 years old ((ID
needed); and free for children 10 and under.
Passes, which can only be used for POP concerts,
are transferable to family and friends and will
be available at the Arts Center or through
members of the committee.
Under the Cultural Affairs
Division of the PCFI, this exciting POP Concert Series is co-chaired
by Dr. Terry Bissonnette, Dr. Judy Cimafranca and Dr. Evelyn Gador, Rose Dy,
Merle Lewis, Lucy Bautista, Dr. Linda Pascual,
& Edna Ramos, members; with Nhick Pacis, Aba
Villagomeza, Connie Chansrasmi, and Dr. Bill Cua
